4.5/5 A well structured, highly accessible explanation of how teachers (and parents) can develop children's literacy skills, encourage engagement with reading, promote enjoyment of books and foster a cooperative atmosphere in the classroom through CT&BT (Critical Thinking and Book Talk). The samples of children's engagement with CT&BT in each chapter are delightful and inspiring to read, the research behind the methodology really speaks for itself. The list of suggested picture books at the end is excellent also.
